Definitions

  • the invention relates to a brake disc for a motor vehicle and a method for their preparation of the specified in the preambles of claims 1 and 7, respectively.
  • a brake disc for an internally encompassing disc brake of a motor vehicle known. It has a Gussbremsring and a sheet-metal brake disk carrier with connecting portion via which it is connected in the region of the outer circumference of the brake ring. It is not shown that the insects is cast in the inner circumference side and is formed as insects with collar, which overstates an end face of the associated friction body izur side of the brake disk top
  • the EP 1 903 248 A1 discloses a state of Tedivik nack Article 54 (3) EPE with a brake disc in composite construction with a designed as a casting brake ring and a casting embedded partially embedded brake ring carrier. It is not shown that a Zwiesdenbauteil is entrenched in one of two Reibungs stressesn with.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a brake disc and a method for their preparation of the type specified in the preambles of claims 1 and 5, in which a still improved weld between the friction ring and the brake disc can be made.
  • a built-brake disk can thus be achieved, which is connected in an optimized manner in particular in the connection region between the brake disk hub and the friction ring, in order to avoid a corresponding wear resistance or the emergence of cracks or the like, especially at high loads during driving.
  • the intermediate ring in the connection region to the casting material of the friction ring means for producing a positive connection.
  • an optimal connection of the cast intermediate component or intermediate ring is achieved to the casting material of the friction ring.
  • the intermediate ring is provided with a layer, in particular a tin layer, preferably with a layer thickness of about 1 to 30 microns.
  • a layer in particular a tin layer, preferably with a layer thickness of about 1 to 30 microns.
  • electroplated layer allows in particular a particularly good connection of the intermediate ring to the friction ring and the brake disk hub.
  • This above-described layer, in particular tin layer, is applied in a further embodiment of the invention prior to pouring into the friction ring on the intermediate ring. It can be done, for example, by an easy-to-use galvanic spray coating before pouring into the friction ring.
  • Fig. 1 is a fragmentary view of a brake disc for a motor vehicle, in the present case a truck, shown in a perspective view.
  • the brake disc comprises a substantially cylindrical brake disc hub 10, which is formed on its one end face 12 with an annular flange 14 for attachment to a wheel hub-side receptacle, not shown.
  • the flange 14 has a plurality of radially distributed passage openings 16.
  • the brake disk cup 10 in the present case consists of a steel material which has correspondingly favorable ductile material and strength properties.
  • the brake disk hub 10 On its side facing away from the flange 14, the brake disk hub 10 is described in more detail below Way connected to a friction ring 18, which in this case consists of a cast material, such as gray cast iron.
  • FIG. 2 which is a partial and axial sectional view of the brake disc according to Fig. 1 shows, it can be seen that in the connection region of the brake disk hub 10 to the friction ring 18, an intermediate member 20 is provided in the form of an intermediate ring.
  • This intermediate ring has been poured in at the inner circumference of the brake disk or the friction ring 18 during the casting process. More specifically, the intermediate member 20 has been poured into one of two friction ring bodies 22, 24 on the inner peripheral side, wherein the intermediate member 20 receiving the friction ring body 22 faces the brake disk hub 10.
  • the two friction ring bodies 20, 22 are integrally connected to each other via a plurality of intermediate webs 26, which ensure the internal ventilation of the friction ring 18.
  • the designed as an intermediate ring intermediate member 20 has as a means for producing a positive connection with the casting material of the friction ring 18 on an outer peripheral side circumferential ridge 28.
  • This web 28 ensures a particularly favorable connection of the intermediate component 20, in particular in the axial direction of the friction ring 18 or the brake disk.
  • the intermediate component 20 consists of a steel material which, in terms of its material properties, is tuned in particular to those of the brake disk cup 10.
  • the intermediate component 20 consists of a steel material which, in terms of its material properties, is tuned in particular to those of the brake disk cup 10.
  • a welded joint is in the present case, in particular a friction welding or an inductive welding.
  • the intermediate component 20 in the form of the intermediate ring has a collar 34 which projects beyond an end face 36 of the friction ring 18 or the associated friction ring body 22 to the side of the brake disk hub. This allows a particularly favorable weld 32 between the brake disk hub 10 and the intermediate member 20th
  • the intermediate ring with a layer, in particular a tin layer is preferably provided with a layer thickness of about 1 to 30 microns, which is applied for example by electroplated spray coating on the surface of the intermediate member 20. This results in a particularly favorable connection to the friction ring 18 and the brake disk hub 10th
  • the brake disc is manufactured as follows:
  • the above-described layer in particular the tin layer, is applied to the intermediate ring by appropriate galvanic spray coating or another coating method. This is followed by the casting of the friction ring 18 and, consequently, the pouring of the intermediate ring into the friction ring 18.
  • the friction ring 18 with the intermediate member 20 and on the other hand, the brake disk hub 10 at least substantially finished.
  • this weld 32 can be done for example by friction welding or by inductive wiping. Of course, other welding methods are conceivable.
  • a particularly favorable possibility is created, which is created from a cast material, such as a GG-15 or GG-20 friction ring 18 with the consisting of a steel material brake disk 10, namely mediated by the intermediate member 20, which in turn into the casting material the friction ring 18 is cast with.
  • the cast intermediate member 20 can thus be adapted in a particularly favorable manner to the material of the brake disk 10, which in the present case may consist of a steel material with a correspondingly higher tensile strength and associated smaller dimensions and smaller wall thicknesses. In this way, the weight of the respective brake disc can be significantly reduced overall, without any losses in the connection of the brake disc hub 10 with the friction ring 18 would follow.
  • a brake disc can be created, which during a braking process withstand the resulting with the resulting braking heat expansions and internal stresses particularly well.
  • the pouring of the intermediate member 20 takes place in the friction ring 18 by way of a composite casting process.
  • other methods would be conceivable here.
